Description: Michael Blake tells the story of his 20 year long relationship with the wild stallion "Twelve." A horse that would not be tamed.
Notes: "A memoir that reads like a love poem not only to a particular animal, but to all wild things, to what is wild in us. This story is equal parts an unsentimental recounting of one person's relationship to an untamable animal and a cautionary tale as to what we stand to lose if we take the existence of these magnificent symbols of North American independence and resourcefulness for granted. Michael understood that 'Twelve' was not his to own or subdue, and took pride in the special gift of being the wild stallion's custodian."--Publisher website.
